The Plastite 45°fastener is designed to facilitate threadforming in less-compressable plastics while providing high resistance to strip-out and pull-out. It has smaller root and major diameters than a 48°Plastite, so it can be used in smaller bosses.

　Specifications

Sizes：#2-3/8"（metric sizes 2-8）·other sizes may be available upon request

Head Styles·Can be used with any external or internal head designs:pan,hex wysher,and flat styles standard

Drive System·Can use any system

Finish·As required

Appliantions

Engineering-grade thermoplastics(with a flexural modulus over 850,000p.s.i.)

 Key Advantages

◆Can be used in smaller bosses than Plastite 48°fasteners

◆Increases product reliabiliy

◆Lowers required drive torque when fastening stiffer thermoplastics

Features & Benefits

Tri-roundular configuration allows displaced material to cold flow back into relief areas

◆Minimizes radial stress

◆Reduces possibility of boss failure

◆Eliminates need for inserts and lock washers

◆Allows design of thinner bosses

45°thread profile allows threads to penetrate deeply into plastic material

◆Generates strong mating threads

◆Resists vibration loosening

◆Increases resistance to strip-out

◆Achieves wide differentials between drive and fail torque

Single lead design and narrow helix angle

 lowers drive torque and failure torque in thermoplastics with a flexural modulus over 850,000 p.s.i.

◆Greates less stress on the boss
